da casino: Considering he was overtaken by midfielder James Milner in the left-back pecking order last season, Alberto Moreno’s involvement in Liverpool’s 2017/18 campaign thus far has certainly been surprising.
da marjack bet: Many expected the three-cap Spaniard to be moved on this summer, especially following the arrival of Andrew Robertson, but he’s already featured three times for the Reds, starting their first Premier League fixture against Watford and then making two appearances in Champions League qualifying against Hoffenheim.
That includes an impressive showing at Anfield yesterday evening, during which Liverpool once again raised questions about their defensive qualities but left no doubt over their ability going forward, trouncing the German outfit 4-2.
Linking up frequently with Sadio Mane in front of him, the 25-year-old had the most touches of the ball of any Liverpool player, whilst creating two chances – neither of which were converted – and completing two dribbles.
Liverpool were far from solid at the back but Moreno fared relatively well defensively too, completing two interceptions and making a whopping seven clearances.
The former Sevilla starlet may have some way to go before he’s the automatic first choice in a position he failed to convince in for the last three seasons, but he’s certainly rising to the challenge of competing with Robertson for a starting berth.
So, Liverpool fans, who would you start against Arsenal on Sunday?
